The second chapter of Satyajit Ray’s Apu Trilogy, winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, is a heartbreaking portrait of adolescence set against the backdrop of modernization in midcentury India.
Hayao Miyazaki’s first great success is a stunning vision of a post-apocalyptic world populated by enormous mutant insects that make the planet virtually uninhabitable for humans. Out of this toxic environment, Nausicaä (the first in a long line of formidable Miyazaki heroines) emerges and endeavors to understand the ecological devastation. This early masterwork contains many hallmarks of the director’s later films, including a concern for the natural world and a humanist moral relativity.
